Sustainability and Construction explores various facets of construction, from inception, through operationalization, and end-of-life management, from the perspective of practice-driven sustainability.After an introductory chapter laying the foundations for the sustainability concept and another one relating sustainability to the corporate environment, the volume then delves into the various phases of a construction project to examine related sustainability issues with exemplifying case studies pointing to the state of the art worldwide.The authors' unique treatment of the overarching themes impacting sustainability in the global construction industry and how these intersect in their local context (i.e., New Zealand) too ultimately allows them to offer a well-balanced and thorough reference that proves to be a value-added, highly visual resource for professional engineers, students and researchers, policy makers, and various industry stakeholders alike. - Spotlights the convergence of multiple disciplines in construction, emphasizing the importance of cross-disciplinary perspectives and the need for interdisciplinary implementation. - Correlates sustainability with the construction project lifecycle, as well as the wider construction domain, while underscoring the impact of associated operational and strategic processes. - Presents case studies highlighting a variety of driving factors and implementation nuances for specific settings, illustrating the wide sectoral expanse and the potential for change. - Draws extensively from contemporary and established literature, including government/public documents, consultancy reports, and more. The rich bibliography points to an expandable framework through further exploration.
